Palmer Report:Michigan recount has exposed thoroughly inept and suspicious original counting process

Just one day into the court-ordered Michigan statewide recount, and it’s already become clear why Michigan’s state officials had fought so hard against a recount to begin with. From mysterious holes torn in ballot containers, to mismatched ballot tracking numbers, it’s quickly become apparent that Michigan’s original vote counting effort – which narrowly named Donald Trump the winner in a shockingly unrealistic result – was either extraordinarily sloppy or extraordinarily suspicious.

and the claimed double counting of Trump votes.

Haven't heard a peep from the lawyers there.

Sites like the Palmer Report post unsubstantiated things regardless of any verification. It's irresponsible at best and makes for really crappy "journalism".

few of us on this board will release this to the wild (ie conservative friends on Facebook for example). My conservative friends on the other hand - any crappy internet meme that comes down the pipe (I stopped following several for that reason after the election - I was getting tired of the bull).

We are talking about human beings (sloppy by nature) and in this case mostly badly trained volunteers (extremely sloppy by nature)

I suspect there will be puts and takes but in the end the results of the election results will be confirmed. I fervently hope that that I am wrong, but I won't be holding my breath.
